hotdog666al Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Surely these languages should be bundled with the Operating System, not as a *pay more for* add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trip21 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 OH YEEEHAAAAAAA I can now run vista in Arabic, if ever something could be considered an "ultimate extra" :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Stupid, useless updates. So now I have to hide each one each time these comes up on Windows Update. Looks like Home Premum is a much better suitable OS for the home, seeing that I've heard Dreamscene can be hacked to work on Home Premium. These language packs should be bundled with the OS and a specific pack set by default depending on the country it was bought for example if I buy Vista in Japan, I would see Japanese pack activated instead of the default English. But no, MS don't see that and wants you to pay more for basic accessibility. I thought MS love trying help everyone they can by providing accessibility.

*John* Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It tickles me that "Language Packs" are considered an "Ultimate Extra" :D Why don't Microsoft come out and admit it? They have no Ultimate Extra's bar Texas Hold'em and Dreamscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 These Language Packs should have been bundled with ANY version of Vista the moment of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webeagle12 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) This like most useless thing you can pay for, whoever bough Ultimate version literally got screwed in the *** Edited October 24, 2007 by bmaher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted October 24, 2007 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2007 This like most useless thing you can pay for, whoever bough Ultimate version literally got screwed in the *** Not necesserily - there's other features in Ultimate that you don't get in either Home Premium or Business (or in both). I always believed the Ultimate Extras to be a small added extra. The way I see it with the Language packs, is that how often do you change the language of your PC? In my case, it's never. If i wanted Vista in another language, I'd have bought it in that language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 And they charge you $750 for a full copy of Ulitmate? Should be at least $200. that's all they are worth for considering Ubuntu as a potential competiter in the near future. All Ubuntu need is mainstream games be compatable with it and I will quickly churn to Ubuntu :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Ubuntu need is mainstream games be compatable with it and I will quickly churn to Ubuntu :yes: Last time I checked $750 is "at least" $200. And a full retail license doesn't cost you as much as $750 (it's ~ $600 I believe?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention it's really more like $180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
